MEMBRANE-ELECTRODE UNIT COMPRISING A BARRIER JUNCTION

摘要

The present invention relates to a membrane-electrode assembly comprising at least one membrane, at least two electrode layers and at least one barrier layer, wherein the at least one barrier layer comprises at least one catalytically active species and/or at least one adsorbent material and the barrier layer is electronically nonconductive when a catalytically active species is present, the use of such a barrier layer in a membrane-electrode assembly and in a fuel cell, and also a gas-diffusion electrode and a fuel cell comprising such a membrane-electrode assembly.
